re: Any Pittsburgh people can recommend me some good restaurants?

Pittsburgh has some pretty good restaurants. Lived there for 5 months, and I'd recommend the following:

Meat and Potatoes
Chashba
Grit and Grace
Butcher and the Rye
Kaya
Dishotreia
Root 174
Spoon

Yeah, Pittsburgh is no New Orleans, but it still has a nice diverse restaurant scene.

i would add Eleven, Avenue B, Cure and Industry.

you're not going to find really good Mexican food, but I understand Reyna is pretty good (we haven't been).

I'll be honest about Primanti brothers -- if you've had good poboys before, you will be disappointed.

I live in Sewickley, and if you're going to head over here, Vivo is excellent. I'm not a fan of the Sewickley Hotel (service and food can vary wildly, but patio is great for drinks on a nice day). I think Hyeholde in Moon is pretty good too.

You gotta kinda work to have a really good meal here, although over the last couple of years the quality and variety of food has begun to improve.

ETA: we really like Isabella on the Avenue on Mt Washington. Monterey and La Mont are okay, but the food suffers a bit because the view is exceptional. Isabella has the view w/ good food.
